Bill. You really should have your own show, you are awesomely hilarious and eminently truthful. Please don’t stop being you. Love your video ramblings.i must come and purchase a car from you.
My first vehicle was a 1976 Ford F-100...and when I was a little kid, my Dad had a Ford F-150, as did several other male adults I knew in our community. So the Ford F-Series pickups from the late 70's always have a place in my heart, as they remind me of my misspent youth. Best part of these trucks--the smoker window! If you had a truck without air conditioning (as mine did not have), you simply opened that smoker window on a hot day, adjusted the angle just right, drove down the road really fast...and you had air conditioning! These trucks were made for cruising down dirt roads.
The ability to maintain what must be an off-the-cuff stream of conscience(or is it consciousness?) in every video is a rare talent. I just discovered this channel and I was a fan from the first one: a weather report, some half remembered history, berating of the hired help, and a thorough review with gun and cocaine storage suggestions. Brilliant!
That F-150 is sweet! And I am a Chevy guy. My first p/u was a '72 chevy back in college in Daytona Beach. Never been without one. Bill, thanks for these videos on all your cars!
I saved a 79 Ford Ranger XLT F-150 Supercab Trailer Special from the crusher. It was donated and somehow ended up on the crush line. It was about as nice as any truck at the local car cruise and I used it for years. I love these old Fords.
I was born in 77 i love hearing everything that went on back then . Great Truck i wish i had the money for that beautiful beast . Keep these great vids coming please
I love F-150 pickup trucks, they're pretty awesome. Again, I love your humor, Bill! Keep it up with the videos! You're doing a fabulous job! (I absolutely hate using the word fantastic)
Absolutely agree Bill. Pick Up Trucks are the new big American car. We're all running out of rear wheel drive full sized sedans. About all that's left is the Chrysler 300 and then there are Mercedes Benzes. We don't even have any locally manufactured cars in Australia anymore! Thanks so much for your inspiring and funny commentary, it is so much appreciated!
My dad had a 76 lifted with 40 inch tires and tuned with glass packs i got to drive it to highschool a few times in 1998. It woke up the neighborhood when starting up
Bill, you got yourself a great truck there, for 1977 anyway. It looks great and all that but, really, the market is small. Even so, well, its well done and brings joy. Can't say that about a lot of cars, er, trucks. In the end, love your vids and thank you! :)
Love the F150. My Dad had one in the80,s.to tow the horses to polo x . And Bill your informative halarious commentary. Keep them coming. Under the current lock down here in Brisbane Australia’s it’s something to look forward to . I can’t wait to see your next review. Take care and stay safe ... PS. I’m buying a bottle of whisky today 😀👍
I'm not a Ford guy. But I've always liked the looks of this body style truck. Of course, all trucks of this era were good looking. But each in their own way. I've only owned one Ford in the 28 or so years I've been driving. It was a 2000 Taurus that I only got because I was able to make ridiculously small payments. And as soon as I got it paid off I sold it. Horrible car. I said I'd never own another Ford. But I would definitely make an exception for something like this. Before computers were put in cars they were all pretty okay. So older vehicles are still acceptable in my world. I think this is why I like this channel. I'm guilty of rambling as much as Bill
Watching from Brazil, already subscribed, you have talent, think fast and make a speach Very well put together. Very Nice truck, here in Brazil Ford also produed this model with another name or number, It was colled F1000 here, but with a in line 6 cyliders gas and 4 cyliders diesel.
If this is true I'll need to drink more whiskey as need to buy more. That is an old fashioned type medicine years before our time. I was 10 in 1977 which too I saw "Star Wars" in 1977 as the movie "Smokey & The Bandit".
Gary Newman did the song "Cars", Gary Wright did the song "Dream Weaver". Gary Moore was a guitarist in the group Thin Lizzy. One of his best solo songs was "Still Got The Blues". Gary Gilmore was a murderer. Get your Garys straight. 😆 The Ford F150, Chevrolet 1500 and Dodge 150 came out as a "Heavy Half Ton" to skate around the emission laws. At that time a truck with a gross vehicle weight (loaded) over a certain weight didn't have to have catalytic converters and burn unleaded gas. The F100, C10 and D10 trucks disappeared. A few years later emission laws were changed so "heavy half" ton and even up to one ton trucks were required to meet stricter emission laws.
In my twisted fantasy world Greta would visit Bill for a ride in this vehicle and then at the end of the video say: How dare you...... hook me on gas-guzzling American pickup trucks!?!?
the ubiquity of 4 door pickups is proof that they have essentially replaced the large sedans of the 20th century among male drivers. With minivans and SUV's replacing station wagons.
Moral of the story? I just found out that my 74 F350 dually (390FE non-catalyst with new process 4 speed, 4:11 gears and a dump - on chrome semis) is named Greta. Now I just need to vinyl or paint "How dare you?" on it somewhere, preferably with her face...
1977 was the first year for the gas door's. This one's probably more like 400 +hp.I hear a mellow cam. I've got a 75 F250 Ranger XLT camper special. Fully loaded J code truck.Sniper EFI on a 460, With a built C6 & 373 Dana Posi, 2wd. She'll stripe em clear across the intersection..Passes everything but a gas station.....
I love it if I didn’t live across the country I would’ve been down to look at it with the serious intention of possibly purchasing it it’s a beautiful truck that won’t last long it’s probably already sold as I am viewing it and making this remark
Welcome to a little taste of America my dad's had a 77 F100 with a 460 in it 2 wheel drive I don't know how fast I was going cuz the speedometer was bouncing off the peg me and Dad built at 76 four wheel drive, and I've got a 71 f250 that I'm going to put on a four-by-four highboy chassis weather for 60 also
"I've lost track of time because of the whiskey therapy." Best car reviews on CZcams hands down.
Thank you for revealing a truck they are what makes America great
In a mad world Bill brings some much needed laughter
Well said Mark, very true statement! 1000 thumbs up!
Definitely!
"How dare you!" I about fell out of my chair laughing! Get em!

This man paints with words
I absolutely crack up over your reviews. I love your honesty. The dodge you speaking of is/was The Lil Red Express.
mark trusty 1964 Dodge Sports Special factory 426 Wedge 365/470 is what he’s referring too
That F-150 is sweet! And I am a Chevy guy.
My first p/u was a '72 chevy back in college in Daytona Beach. Never been without one.
Bill, thanks for these videos on all your cars!
Center of gravity higher than my cholesterol, higher than cheech and Chong
I’ve been lucky to have a few of these old fords and I love them all this beauty needs is the kc lights on the back and a set of superswamper boggers
Gibert you are spot on THANK YOU
That pick up has the perfect balance between country and city, just beautiful !
It's always a treat to get a new video from you, Bill, and especially so during the Wu-flu lockdown. Greetings from England.
I saved a 79 Ford Ranger XLT F-150 Supercab Trailer Special from the crusher. It was donated and somehow ended up on the crush line. It was about as nice as any truck at the local car cruise and I used it for years. I love these old Fords.
I've seen this truck hiding in the background on the last couple of your videos. Glad you chose to review it. :)
Exactly what I though while watching the Allante review, so did a search on F150 and bingo!
I was not expecting the halarious narration😂 I’m dying!
This guy is great lol
Thanks for cheering up my lock down.
As always, Bill, FABULOUS review and conversation! Keep up the awesome job on your channel!
Comedy genius. Florida’s Larry David 👍🤣👏
Yeah i was eyeballing that ford in the last video, glad you finally reviewed it that thing is a beast
1977 was a good year :)
I was born in 77 i love hearing everything that went on back then . Great Truck i wish i had the money for that beautiful beast . Keep these great vids coming please
I love F-150 pickup trucks, they're pretty awesome. Again, I love your humor, Bill! Keep it up with the videos! You're doing a fabulous job! (I absolutely hate using the word fantastic)
Hands down you are the best car reviewer. Ever!!!

Stick with the therapy!...keep the vids coming.
My dad had a 76 lifted with 40 inch tires and tuned with glass packs i got to drive it to highschool a few times in 1998. It woke up the neighborhood when starting up
"How dare you!" Lol 😂
Bill could effectively review a school bus and find a way to think of it’s review mirror as interesting.
Yee haaaaw, my friend Cletus would love this
Bill, you got yourself a great truck there, for 1977 anyway.
It looks great and all that but, really, the market is small.
Even so, well, its well done and brings joy. Can't say that about a lot of cars, er, trucks.
In the end, love your vids and thank you! :)
It's not just the Canadians who love these old workhorses, the yoopers do as well.
My favorite pickup body style of all time. Very nice example!
Fantastic year, I was born!
Thanks for this review ive been waiting to see this truck for awhile
Whiskey therapy, I do love this channel
Me and my pop used to own the 1976 bicentennial F-150 custom. I miss that thing.
That’s a great looking truck! I was eyeball humping that thing when I saw it in the background of the 300zx video!
I saw the Tumbnail and said "Oh my gosh this is a beautiful sight to behold
Dude I love your commentary!
These reviews are gold... keep clobbering those holier-than-thou do-gooders such as Greta... just love your stuff Bill - thanks so much.
The best looking car u ever showed thank you .....Ahmed from Baghdad Iraq
The dream weaver guy gunned to death in 1977 lmao!!!!!
Fkn gold
I had one of these. Did a complete restoration on it. Absolutely amazing trucks! You cant kill em!
Love the F150. My Dad had one in the80,s.to tow the horses to polo x . And Bill your informative halarious commentary. Keep them coming. Under the current lock down here in Brisbane Australia’s it’s something to look forward to . I can’t wait to see your next review. Take care and stay safe ... PS.

Bill, "Cars" was by Gary Neuman. You were close!
A friends father had a light blue one in 2wd. Ity had the 302 engine. Simple trucks back then, he was a bricklayer and the truck saw honest use.
Ha ha perfect truck to have when you buy drugs and weapen 😂😂 ❤ your videos.
Im a fan from 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪💯👍🍺
Your little impromptu history lessons and random information events are epic. You should do this for uk Top Gear
I’m genuinely honored anyone would think that.

Yhe Commodores released 2 albums in1977, the isley brothers released the go for your guns album.. cool stuff.
The F-150 is great, but Bill is legendary
Dream Weaver was not worthy of a death sentence dammit.
Watching from Brazil, already subscribed, you have talent, think fast and make a speach Very well put together. Very Nice truck, here in Brazil Ford also produed this model with another name or number, It was colled F1000 here, but with a in line 6 cyliders gas and 4 cyliders diesel.
Here in the US, we have V6 diesel and V8 diesel (Powerstroke).
@@brianlee5649 The F1000 late models received the Maxion 4 cylinders turbo diesel engine with intercooller .
Just what a proper alpha man all he needs to drive for his farm 🙌🏽
If this is true I'll need to drink more whiskey as need to buy more. That is an old fashioned type medicine years before our time. I was 10 in 1977 which too I saw "Star Wars" in 1977 as the movie "Smokey & The Bandit".
Great review and history! Thank you!
I just wanted to see you drive that beast. Strong truck, very nice.
That's a sweet older F150
Who wants this back in Australia?
The F150 was created in 75 to get around emission. Not to “bridge a gap” enjoyed the video! Good to see people appreciating the dent sides.
Great history lesson from 1977.
i'm a chevy guy, i have a 2016 silverado 1500 off road black out edition, but this ford is one really beautiful truck, back when trucks were trucks
Bill is GOLD....... COMIC GOLD!!!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍
Beautiful American classic.
I love the 1970s f150s....my uncle had 1979 f150 351cleveland.... blue w/ white wagon wheels. Takes me back
This guy is unintentually HILARIOUS!! 😂😂😂
for some weird reason , your voice seems the voice of REASON these days...
Gary Newman did the song "Cars", Gary Wright did the song "Dream Weaver". Gary Moore was a guitarist in the group Thin Lizzy. One of his best solo songs was "Still Got The Blues". Gary Gilmore was a murderer. Get your Garys straight. 😆

Beautiful Dentside ford truck gotta love it
Holy Shit just says it all. Had a 82 Bronco... was best run around I ever owned. (It climbed walls too)
Best truck ever
That is a helluva truck! Bill, you should have brought your George Jones tape!
That truck is freakin badazzzz.
Anyone else been waiting for this video with baited breath ? First time I saw it hit Bill's lot I said "sweet".
This is the most entertaining truck review I've ever seen
1977 was the year I was born in😊❤👍
Miss Wisconsin was an F-150. Also lifted. 😉
Whiskey kills Coronavirus...no wonder I don't have it!🤣
Greetings from Cape Town. Your vids always make me feel chipper.
I was gonna ask about that truck. She is a beaut
You get some cool stuff there, nice truck.
‘Let’s do it.” - Gary Gilmour
Famous last words indeed, but I doubt that Gary felt like he was in a Belgian whorehouse.
Al Terego 🤣🔫💀
Love this truck, very nice.
But I patiently await for a Mercury Grand Marquis. :D
In my twisted fantasy world Greta would visit Bill for a ride in this vehicle and then at the end of the video say: How dare you...... hook me on gas-guzzling American pickup trucks!?!?

Paracord handles. (genius)
When I got my crosstrek I mentioned how chipper the Canadians would be in the back seat
Dam thats a nice truck!

That's a nice pick-up truck

Oh man, this reminds me of my grandpa's truck! It was a silver F150 Ranger.
DANG ... Bill's in a good mood today???? ... really throwing me off .... almost want to put a bid on this beast !!
Click click “ah the hell with the seatbelt” 😂
Problem with the "Chips" years was the mens shorts were as short as the womens lol
